Sabbath, Contemplative Time, and Liturgical Listening
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: As we explore listening practices in global Catholicism, we have an opportunity to learn from spiritual traditions and their wisdom about stillness, receptivity, rest, and attention. This article focuses on Sabbath in dialogue with Jewish and Christian writings, particularly with regard to the dignity of work, sacred time, and receptive relationship to God and all of creation. Considering Catholic teachings on Sunday and Sabbath, I develop the idea of liturgical listening, arguing that the Eucharistic assembly can be a formative space for cultivating practices of listening together.
